Chastain scored a nomination for Best Actress for her performance as televangelist Tammy Faye (despite the film itself receiving little attention) in part due to the remarkable physical transformation she underwent. The star is practically unrecognizable under layers of makeup and prosthetics for much of the film, portraying Faye at various ages over the course of 30 years. She clearly recognizes the role that her makeup team played in earning her the multitude of accolades she has received for the film.
